The distribution of cancer specimens from two pathology centres in Ethiopia

A Loutfi et al. Ethiop Med J. 1992 Jan.

Abstract

A relative frequency study of cancers in Ethiopia was conducted using pathology data from two major Ethiopian pathology centres. The cancer distribution is similar to that described in other East African countries. Carcinomas of the cervix and breast are the most common biopsied cancers in women. Lymphatic cancer and soft tissue sarcomas are the commonest biopsied cancers in men.
